Hi,
I really need some advice here.
Which schools are among the best that offer one year MBA in finance.
The reason I am looking for one year MBA is I think I have crossed the par age for the two year MBA. I am going to be 29 next month and closer to 32 by the time I get matriculated even if I get into a program that starts in 2014 Fall. Plus, I already have over 6 years of Work Exp.
I need advice on
1. whether a two year program does still make sense after considering the above ? ( I prefer one year for financial and personal reasons).
2. What are the best programs for one year MBA for Finance.

Hey there,
Let's worry about schools second - why don't you help me understand this first: why do you want an MBA? What do you do now? There are a host of considerations that go into whether a 1 year program is right for you. So before we start talking 1 year programs, let's talk your profile.
If you could - share more please! We'll take it from there. How's that sound?

Hi Bhavik,
Thanks for the response.
To be honest, I want an MBA because I think it enhances the career options and helps me get to top portion of the organizational hierarchy quickly.
Coming to my profile, I have been in the entry level management for the last six years. Well, It sounds to be too long but that's how my organization works - a bit slow but steady.None of my peers have gone up significantly.
I am a CMA from India ( Cost and Management Accountant). My profile includes Accounting Management as well as involving in financial planning, working out on Financial outlooks and flashes for the business I am associated with. Our company has many divisions and I work in one of those divisions that again has many businesses. I am associated with one of those businesses. So I have many peers if you look at the organization as a whole but a few one looked at business level.
Academics- More than 60% in every phase other than professional course (CMA). I have not converted my scores into GPAs becasue I do not think they fairly represent the grades. As you know, In India, Certain streams are less scoring and in certain streams you can get 100%. Moreover, CMAs do not get great percentages in general.
I am not too involved in extra curricular activities. I just now and then keep donating to NGOs and Social welfare organizations.
My hobbies include Long rides on bikes ( sometimes more than 1000 KM. Well, I am not part of any riding club or so but we do have certain friends so we go in a group),Reading books etc- I know does not sound great
.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks in Advance for your great advice.
Regards,
Pavan.
P:S Can you throw some light on stream switching ? ( I was thinking of switching to HR. However, since I have been in Finance for more than 6 years, I thought It is not a good idea to switch now

Hi Pavan,
So your work experiences after 6 years (I get flat organizations, so don't worry about that) probably has some opportunities for interesting experiences. How would you rate your personal experiences? Do you think they're average? Above average? Amazing? In other words, are you doing great things no one else your age is doing?
In terms of involvement, to be honest, donating doesn't count. Your hobbies, biking especially, are something to mention but they don't count in terms of impact really so I'm sure you know this part is lacking.
Finally, regarding academics, you haven't mentioned a GMAT score but your GPA is a little below average. I understand certain majors are more difficult than others (and come with lower grades) but even with an adjustment, you're in a very competitive pool. What did you get on your GMAT?
Your GMAT will make a big difference in what schools I can recommend so I'll wait for you on that.
Re: PS - no, don't mention this. You're pretty far into your career and a switch from a cost accountant to HR would be a very difficult story to communicate. You can explore it when you actually get in, but for the purposes of your application, just keep it in line!
